Description

Wärmetauscher und Verfahren zur Oberflächenbehandlung eines solchen Heat exchanger and method for surface treatment of such
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren zur • Oberflächenbehandlung eines solchen.The invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for • surface treatment of such.
Bei herkömmlichen Wärmetauschern treten häufig Probleme mit Korrosion, mikrobiologischem Wachstum und Schmutz auf. Diese Probleme haben unter anderem ihre Ursache in einer Niederschlagung von Kondensat aus der Luft, die durch die Wellrippenpakete, die zwischen den von Kältemittel durchströmten Scheiben bzw. Rohren angeordnet sind, strömt. Ferner wird auch Staub und Schmutz angelagert, so dass sich auf der feuchten, verschmutzten Oberfläche Mikroorganismen ansiedeln können, die eine unerwünschte Geruchsbildung zur Folge haben können.Conventional heat exchangers often have problems with corrosion, microbiological growth and dirt. One of the causes of these problems is condensation from the air, which flows through the corrugated fin packs, which are arranged between the panes or pipes through which refrigerant flows. In addition, dust and dirt are also deposited, so that microorganisms can settle on the moist, dirty surface, which can result in undesirable odors.
Der Abfluss des Kondensats von der Oberfläche kann durch eine hydrophile Ausgestaltung der Oberfläche des Wärmetauschers unterstützt werden, wobei sich in Folge der Hydrophilie ein- dünner Flüssigkeitsfilm bildet, der ständig von der Wellrippenoberfläche abfließen kann. Dies hat einen so genannten Selbstreinigungseffekt oder Spüleffekt zur Folge, wobei eine dauerhafte Ansammlung von Staub und Schmutz reduziert, sowie eine Ansied lung von Mikroorganismen auf der Oberfläche des Wärmeübertragers vermieden werden kann. Ferner trocknet die Wellrippenoberfläche schneller ab. Dadurch wird die Gesamtleistung des Wärmetauschers aufrechterhalten bzw. verbessert.The drainage of the condensate from the surface can be supported by a hydrophilic configuration of the surface of the heat exchanger, a thin liquid film being formed as a result of the hydrophilicity, which film can flow continuously from the corrugated fin surface. This has a so-called self-cleaning effect or rinsing effect, whereby a permanent accumulation of dust and dirt is reduced, and a settlement of microorganisms on the surface of the heat exchanger is avoided can be. Furthermore, the corrugated fin surface dries faster. This will maintain or improve the overall performance of the heat exchanger.
Aus der EP 115 40 42 A1 ist ein Mittel zur chemischen Oberflächenbehandlung und von Wärmetauschern bekannt, wobei Silikatpartikel mit einem mittleren Durchmesser von 5 bis 1000 nm und Polyvinylalkohol in wässriger Lösung auf die Oberfläche von Wärmetauschern aufgetragen sind. Zur Vorbehandlung der Oberfläche wird diese zunächst einer saueren Reinigung un- terzogen und anschließend eine chrom- oder zirkoniumhaltige Konversionsschicht aufgebaut. Der auf diese Weise vorbereitete Wärmetauscher wird mit den o.g. hydrophilen Chemikalien beschichtet, so dass die entsprechend behandelte Oberfläche hydrophile Eigenschaften aufweist.EP 115 40 42 A1 discloses an agent for chemical surface treatment and of heat exchangers, silicate particles with an average diameter of 5 to 1000 nm and polyvinyl alcohol in aqueous solution being applied to the surface of heat exchangers. To pretreat the surface, it is first subjected to acid cleaning and then a conversion layer containing chrome or zirconium is built up. The heat exchanger prepared in this way is connected to the above. coated with hydrophilic chemicals so that the surface treated accordingly has hydrophilic properties.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen verbesserten Wärmetauscher zur Verfügung zu stellen.It is an object of the invention to provide an improved heat exchanger.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Wärmetauscher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Un- teransprüche.This object is achieved by a heat exchanger with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements are the subject of the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Wärmetauscher, insbesondere ein Wärmetauscher für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit einer vorzugsweise hydrophilen Oberflächenbe- schichtung versehen, die Nanopartikel, beschichtete Nanopartikel und/oder aufgepfropfte Nanopartikel enthält. Eine hydrophile Oberflächenbeschich- tung stellt sicher, dass sich ein dünner, geschlossener Flüssigkeitsfilm auf der Oberfläche bildet, der ständig von der Wellrippenoberfläche oder aber von den Scheiben/Rohren des Wärmetauschers abfließen kann. Dies hat einen Selbstreinigungseffekt oder Spüleffekt zur Folge, wodurch eine dauer- hafte Ansammlung von Staub und Schmutz reduziert, sowie eine Ansiedlung von Mikroorganismen auf der Oberfläche des Wärmeübertragers vermieden werden kann. Ferner trocknet die Wellrippenoberfläche schneller ab.According to the invention, a heat exchanger, in particular a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, is provided with a preferably hydrophilic surface coating which contains nanoparticles, coated nanoparticles and / or grafted-on nanoparticles. A hydrophilic surface coating ensures that a thin, closed liquid film forms on the surface, which can flow continuously from the corrugated fin surface or from the washers / tubes of the heat exchanger. This results in a self-cleaning effect or rinsing effect, which reduces the permanent accumulation of dust and dirt and prevents microorganisms from settling on the surface of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, the corrugated fin surface dries faster.
Bei abgewandelten Ausführungsfprmen der Erfindung hat die Oberflächen- besehichtung neben oder anstelle der hydrophilen Wirkung eine oder mehre- re andere vorteilhafte Wirkungen, wie beispielsweise eine korrosionhemmende oder -verhindernde Wirkung.In modified embodiments of the invention, the surface coating, in addition to or instead of the hydrophilic effect, has one or more re other beneficial effects, such as an anti-corrosion or anti-corrosion effect.

Die Be- Schichtung der Nanopartikel kann organische und/oder anorganische Kom- ponten, sowie antimikrobiell wirkende organische und/oder anorganische Komponenten beinhalten.In the case of the coated nanoparticles, instead of or in addition to oxides, which are provided at least in the core of the coated nanoparticles, other compounds can also be present in the coating. The coating of the nanoparticles can include organic and / or inorganic components, as well as antimicrobial organic and / or inorganic components.
Bei den aufgepfropften Nanopartikeln, handelt es sich um Nanopartikel mit einem Kern mit oder aus Oxiden, welche Seitengruppen tragen. Diese Seitengruppen sind chemisch auf der Oberfläche des Nanopartikelkems gebunden, z.B. über Sauerstoff- oder Stickstoffbrücken. Um solche Nanopartikel herzustellen werden zum Beispiel bifunktionelle Verbindungen, z.B. Diamine und/oder Dialkohole, eingesetzt. Dadurch können die Oberflächeneigen- Schäften eines Nanopartikels variiert werden (z.B hydrophob, hydrophil, Stabilisierung in der Dispersion bzw. Lösung). Zudem kann eine Polymerkette mit einer reaktiven Seitenkette, die z.B. eine OH oder COOH oder OR Gruppe enthält, oder eine im Polymernetz nicht abreagierte reaktive Gruppe, z.B. OH oder COOH oder OR, auf das Nanopartikel aufgepfropft werden.The grafted-on nanoparticles are nanoparticles with a core with or made of oxides, which carry side groups. These side groups are chemically bound to the surface of the nanoparticle core, e.g. over oxygen or nitrogen bridges. To produce such nanoparticles, for example, bifunctional compounds, e.g. Diamines and / or dialcohols. This allows the surface properties of a nanoparticle to be varied (e.g. hydrophobic, hydrophilic, stabilization in the dispersion or solution). In addition, a polymer chain with a reactive side chain, e.g. contains an OH or COOH or OR group, or a reactive group not reacted in the polymer network, e.g. OH or COOH or OR, onto which nanoparticles are grafted.
